Minn Kota MKP-39 Weedless Prop Product Description
Power Through Thick Vegetation Without Missing a Beat
Imagine gliding silently through dense lily pads and tangled weeds during those prime fishing hours, without your trolling motor choking or draining the battery. The Minn Kota MKP-39 Weedless Prop delivers exactly that. Engineered exclusively for QUEST Series motors, this prop slices through heavy cover like a hot knife through butter, keeping weeds from wrapping around the shaft or lower unit—even when you're crawling along at low speeds.
Anglers in weed-choked waters know the frustration of constant prop clears. This design changes the game by maintaining steady thrust, preserving precious battery life for longer outings. It's not just a replacement part; it's a reliability upgrade for serious freshwater pursuits.
Standout Features That Deliver Real-World Performance
- 100% Weedless Design: Optimized blade shape pushes vegetation aside and rearward, preventing buildup on the prop or motor housing. Ideal for slow trolling in heavy cabbage, milfoil, or grass.
- Battery-Efficient Thrust: Maintains power output at reduced speeds, extending runtime on deep-cycle batteries during all-day sessions.
- Perfect QUEST Series Fit: Tailored for 4-1/2-inch lower units, ensuring seamless integration without vibrations or balance issues.
- Robust Hardware Included: Comes complete with a 1-inch x 3/16-inch prop pin, 3/8-inch-24 threaded nut, and washer for quick, secure installation.
- Durable Construction: Built to withstand the rigors of repeated vegetation strikes, backed by Minn Kota's reputation for longevity in harsh environments.
Why Anglers Choose the MKP-39 for Uninterrupted Fishing
In thick cover, standard props snag and stall, costing you fish and time. The MKP-39's swept-back blades create a self-clearing action, letting you focus on spotting structure rather than babysitting the motor. Bass fishermen in natural lakes rave about its ability to hug shorelines loaded with coontail or hydrilla without power loss.
It's also a smart choice for conservation-minded users—less motor strain means fewer battery recharges, aligning with sustainable boating practices. Whether you're walleye drifting or crappie jigging, this prop keeps you stealthy and efficient.
Easy Compatibility and Straightforward Setup
Exclusively compatible with Minn Kota QUEST Series trolling motors featuring 4-1/2-inch lower units. Verify your motor model before install to ensure a perfect match—no modifications needed.
Quick Installation Steps
- Power off and lift the motor out of water. Remove old prop by sliding out the drive pin.
- Align new MKP-39 prop on the shaft, insert the included 1" x 3/16" pin.
- Secure with washer and 3/8"-24 nut, torquing to manufacturer specs (typically hand-tight plus quarter-turn).
- Test spin in water—smooth operation confirms success.
Pro tip: Inspect the lower unit for dings or wear during swap; a smooth shaft extends prop life.
Maximize Longevity with Simple Care Routines
To keep the MKP-39 performing flawlessly season after season:
- Rinse with freshwater after every saltwater or muddy use to prevent corrosion.
- Check prop pin and nut for tightness before each trip—vibration loosens them over time.
- Avoid rocks and debris; if nicked, file blades smooth to restore balance.
- Store dry and upright during off-season to dodge mildew in storage garages.
Regular upkeep ensures it outlasts generic alternatives, saving you replacement hassles.
Real Angler Scenarios Where It Shines

River Rat Essential: Power through submerged grass in current-swept eddies for smallmouth or pike.
Tournament Edge: Gain minutes on competitors by skipping prop jams during critical pattern fishing.
